Sandy River Sauces

Made in Maine with the freshest ingredients.

Every bottle starts in my kitchen in Fayette, Maine — with fresh peppers, local blueberries, Maine maple syrup, and ingredients I actually want to eat. No factory. No shortcuts. Just sauces I'm proud to put my name on.

Fresh peppers, tomatoes, and garlic — the ingredients behind Sandy River Sauces

Handmade in Fayette, Maine

What started as batches for friends and family turned into something bigger when local stores started asking to carry them. Today, Sandy River Sauces are on the shelves of shops across central Maine — and every bottle is still made by hand.

I'm not trying to be the next big hot sauce brand. I just want to make sauces I'm proud of, from ingredients I can stand behind.
